Principles of Professional Responsibility

Posted on November 1st, 2012 by AAA Admin
Anthropologythat most humanistic of sciences and scientific of humanitiesis an irreducibly social
enterprise. Among our goals are the dissemination of anthropological knowledge and its use to solve human
problems. Anthropologists work in the widest variety of contexts studying all aspects of the human
experience, and face myriad ethical quandaries inflected in different ways by the contexts in which they work
and the kinds of issues they address. What is presented here is intended to reflect core principles shared
across subfields and contexts of practice.
These core principles are expressed as concise statements which can be easily remembered for use by
anthropologists in their everyday professional lives. Each principle is accompanied by brief discussions
placing that principle in a broader context, with more detailed examinations of how each affects or may be
helpful to anthropologists in different subfields or work contexts. These examinations are accompanied by
resources to assist anthropologists in tackling difficult ethical issues or the new situations that inevitably arise
in the production of knowledge.
As a social enterprise, research and practice always involve others colleagues, students, research
participants, employers, clients, funders (whether institutional, community-based or individual) as well as
non-human primates and other animals, among others (all usually referred to as research participants in this
document). Anthropologists must be sensitive to the power differentials, constraints, interests and
expectations characteristic of all relationships. In a field of such complex rights, responsibilities, and
involvements, it is inevitable that misunderstandings, conflicts, and the need to make difficult choices will
arise. Anthropologists are responsible for grappling with such difficulties and struggling to resolve them in
ways compatible with the principles stated here. These principles provide anthropologists with tools to
engage in developing and maintaining an ethical framework for all stages of anthropological practice when
making decisions prior to beginning projects, when in the field, and when communicating findings and
preserving records.
These principles address general circumstances, priorities and relationships, and also provide helpful specific
examples, that should be considered in anthropological work and ethical decision-making. The individual
anthropologist must be willing to make carefully considered ethical choices and be prepared to make clear the
assumptions, facts and considerations on which those choices are based.

Ethics and morals differ in important ways. The complex issues that anthropologists confront rarely admit to
the simple wrongs and rights of moral dicta, and one of the prime ethical obligations of anthropologists is to
carefully and deliberately weigh the consequences and ethical dimensions of the choices they make by
action or inaction. Similarly, ethical principles and political positions should not be conflated; their foci of
concern are quite distinct. Finally, ethics and law differ in important ways, and care must always be taken in
making these distinctions. Different processes are involved in making ethical versus legal decisions, and they
are subject to different regulations. While moral, political, legal and regulatory issues are often important to
anthropological practice and the discipline, they are not specifically considered here. These principles address
ethical concerns. 1
Although these principles are primarily intended for Association members, they also provide a structure for
communicating ethical precepts in anthropology to students, other colleagues, and outside audiences,
including sponsors, funders, and Institutional Review Boards or other review committees.
The American Anthropological Association does not adjudicate assertions of unethical behavior,2 and these
principles are intended to foster discussion, guide anthropologists in making responsible decisions, and
educate.

1. Do No Harm
A primary ethical obligation shared by anthropologists is to do no harm. It is imperative that, before any
anthropological work be undertaken in communities, with non-human primates or other animals, at
archaeological and paleoanthropological sites each researcher think through the possible ways that the
research might cause harm. Among the most serious harms that anthropologists should seek to avoid are
harm to dignity, and to bodily and material well-being, especially when research is conducted among
vulnerable populations. Anthropologists should not only avoid causing direct and immediate harm but also
should weigh carefully the potential consequences and inadvertent impacts of their work. When it conflicts
with other responsibilities, this primary obligation can supersede the goal of seeking new knowledge and can
lead to decisions to not undertake or to discontinue a project. In addition, given the irreplaceable nature of the
Page 2 of 12
8/19/14, 11:58 AM
archaeological record, the conservation, protection and stewardship of that record is the principal ethical
obligation of archaeologists. Determining harms and their avoidance in any given situation is ongoing and
must be sustained throughout the course of any project.
Anthropologists may choose to link their research to the promotion of well-being, social critique or advocacy.
As with all anthropological work, determinations regarding what is in the best interests of others or what
kinds of efforts are appropriate to increase well-being are value- laden and should reflect sustained discussion
with others concerned. Anthropological work must similarly reflect deliberate and thoughtful consideration of
potential unintended consequences and long-term impacts on individuals, communities, identities, tangible
intangible heritage and environments.

2. Be Open and Honest Regarding Your Work

Anthropologists should be clear and open regarding the purpose, methods, outcomes, and sponsors of their
work. Anthropologists must also be prepared to acknowledge and disclose to participants and collaborators
all tangible and intangible interests that have, or may reasonably be perceived to have, an impact on their
work. Transparency, like informed consent, is a process that involves both making principled decisions prior
to beginning the research and encouraging participation, engagement, and open debate throughout its course.
Researchers who mislead participants about the nature of the research and/or its sponsors; who omit
significant information that might bear on a participants decision to engage in the research; or who otherwise
engage in clandestine or secretive research that manipulates or deceives research participants1 about the
sponsorship, purpose, goals or implications of the research, do not satisfy ethical requirements for openness,
honesty, transparency and fully informed consent.2 Compartmented research3 by design will not allow the
anthropologist to know the full scope or purpose of a project; it is therefore ethically problematic, since by
definition the anthropologist cannot communicate transparently with participants, nor ensure fully informed
consent.
Anthropologists have an ethical obligation to consider the potential impact of both their research and the
communication or dissemination of the results of their research. Anthropologists must consider this issue
prior to beginning research as well as throughout the research process. Explicit negotiation with research
partners and participants about data ownership and access and about dissemination of results, may be
necessary before deciding whether to begin research.
In their capacity as researchers, anthropologists are subject to the ethical principles guiding all scientific and
scholarly conduct. They must not plagiarize, nor fabricate or falsify evidence,4 or knowingly misrepresent
information or its source. However, there are situations in which evidence or information may be minimally
modified (such as by the use of pseudonyms) or generalized, in order to avoid identification of the source and
to protect confidentiality and limit exposure of people to risks.

3. In this document, when we use the term compartmented, we are referring generally to any research
project in which the principal investigator is part of a research project, conducted on behalf of a third
party, in which researcher has neither control nor knowledge about the overall goals, structure, purpose,
sponsors, funding, and/or other critical elements of a project. Such projects may have government or
private funding and may or may not entail classified information.
Any research project that limits the anthropologists access to decisions, information and/or
documentation that enables her/him to understand and responsibly explain the structure, goals, risks,
and benefits of the research to potential subjects is problematic. This is because the researchers limited
understanding and control makes it impossible to present potential participants with a clear and honest
statement of risks, benefits, and outcomes. (back)

3. Obtain Informed Consent and Necessary Permissions

Anthropological researchers working with living human communities must obtain the voluntary and informed
consent of research participants. Ordinarily such consent is given prior to the research, but it may also be
obtained retroactively if so warranted by the research context, process, and relations. The consent process
should be a part of project design and continue through implementation as an ongoing dialogue and
negotiation with research participants. Normally, the observation of activities and events in fully public
spaces is not subject to prior consent.
Minimally, informed consent includes sharing with potential participants the research goals, methods,
funding sources or sponsors, expected outcomes, anticipated impacts of the research, and the rights and
responsibilities of research participants. It must also include establishing expectations regarding anonymity1
and credit2. Researchers must present to research participants the possible impacts of participation, and make
clear that despite their best efforts, confidentiality may be compromised or outcomes may differ from those
anticipated. These expectations apply to all field data, regardless of medium. Visual media in particular,
because of their nature, must be carefully used, referenced, and contextualized.
Page 4 of 12
8/19/14, 11:58 AM
Anthropologists have an obligation to ensure that research participants have freely granted consent, and must
avoid conducting research in circumstances in which consent may not be truly voluntary or informed. In the
event that the research changes in ways that will directly affect the participants, anthropologists must revisit
and renegotiate consent. The informed consent process is necessarily dynamic, continuous and reflexive.
Informed consent does not necessarily imply or require a particular written or signed form. It is the quality of
the consent, not its format, which is relevant.
Anthropologists working with biological communities or cultural resources have an obligation to ensure that
they have secured appropriate permissions or permits prior to the conduct of research. Consultation with
groups or communities affected by this or any other type of research should be an important element of the
design of such projects and should continue as work progresses or circumstances change. It is explicitly
understood that defining what constitutes an affected community is a dynamic and necessary process.

4. Weigh Competing Ethical Obligations Due Collaborators and

Affected Parties
Anthropologists must weigh competing ethical obligations1 to research participants, students, professional
colleagues, employers and funders, among others, while recognizing that obligations to research participants
are usually primary.2 In doing so, obligations to vulnerable populations are particularly important. These
varying relationships may create conflicting, competing or crosscutting ethical obligations, reflecting both the
relative vulnerabilities of different individuals, communities or populations, asymmetries of power implicit in
a range of relationships, and the differing ethical frameworks of collaborators representing other disciplines
or areas of practice.
Anthropologists have an obligation to distinguish the different kinds of interdependencies and collaborations
their work involves, and to consider the real and potential ethical dimensions of these diverse and sometimes
contradictory relationships, which may be different in character and may change over time. When conflicts
between ethical standards or expectations arise, anthropologists need to make explicit their ethical
Page 5 of 12
8/19/14, 11:58 AM
obligations, and develop an ethical approach in consultation with those concerned.

Anthropologists must often make difficult decisions among competing ethical obligations while recognizing
their obligation to do no harm. Anthropologists must not agree to conditions which inappropriately change
the purpose, focus, or intended outcomes of their research. Anthropologists remain individually responsible
for making ethical decisions.
Collaborations may be defined and understood quite differently by the various participants. The scope of
collaboration, rights and responsibilities of the various parties, and issues of data access and representation,
credit, acknowledgment and should be openly and fairly established at the outset.3

3. Concerns Before You Start
When you begin considering an employment opportunity, there are a few documents to carefully
review before agreeing to become an employee. First, most organizations will have an employment
contract, personnel manual or some type of document that governs the relationship between the
employee and the organization. Read this document(s) carefully. It usually spells out the conditions of
employment, the employers responsibilities and the employees responsibilities. In these documents
you should also find rights and responsibilities about data and publications. This is where you need to
be clear about ownership of data, what is considered data, who has the right to review publications and
final clearance on documents for distribution. If you believe that the terms are inappropriate, you
should speak directly to the employer about your concerns. Be aware however, that the employer does
not have to change their position; these documents have been carefully developed and reviewed by a
variety of professional resources. In some situations, you may find these documents can be modified
and it is an opportunity to help to educate the employer about your concerns and the issues raised by
this code of ethics. You may be able to negotiate terms that you find appropriate based on this code of
ethics. In any case, it will be up to you to work with the employer to modify the terms of employment.
If you review these documents carefully before becoming an employee, you will be fully informed and
can then make a considered decision about whether to accept an offer of employment.
If you are applying for a grant or contract there will be language in the application forms that spells out
the rights and responsibilities of the funder and the grantee/contractor. These documents should be
Page 6 of 12
8/19/14, 11:58 AM
carefully reviewed so that you are clear about the conditions of award that you will agree to if your
proposal is successful and you accept the grant or contract. If there are conditions which are contrary to
the principles in this code, you can bring it to the attention of the funder and attempt to negotiate
appropriate language in the grant or contract. However, the funder has in most cases carefully
considered their requirements, has obtained professional reviews and believes that the terms and
conditions best serve their needs. You may find that many funders, particularly foundations are eager to
have their work disseminated and you find willing partners. At the same time you may find that some
funders place restrictions on how you may use the data collected and who controls review of reports or
articles submitted for publication. It is your responsibility to carefully review the terms and conditions
of the grant or contract award before you sign the document.
As examples, the full citation for FAR: 52.227-14 Rights in DataGeneral is provided in order to
give the reader a clear understanding of the completeness and detail that becomes incorporated into an
federal RFP or contract concerning Rights in Data. A second document provides examples of
contract and grant language regarding Rights in Data from a Non-profit organization and a foundation.
These last two examples represent actual contract/grant language. (back)
5. Make Your Results Accessible

Results of anthropological research should be disseminated in a timely fashion. It is important to bear in mind
that these results may not be clear cut, and may be subject to multiple interpretations, as well as susceptible to
differing and unintended uses. In some situations, limitations on dissemination may be appropriate where
such restrictions will protect participants or their cultural heritage and/or tangible or intangible cultural or
intellectual property. In some cases, dissemination may pose significant risks because once information is
disseminated, even in a limited sphere, there is great likelihood that it will become widely available.1 Thus,
preventing dissemination may sometimes be the most ethical decision. Dissemination and sharing of research
data should not be at the expense of protecting confidentiality.
Anthropologists should not withhold research results from research participants, especially when those results
are shared with others. However, restrictions on disclosure may be appropriate and ethical, such as where
study participants have been fully informed and have freely agreed to limited dissemination, or where
restrictions have been placed on dissemination to protect the safety, dignity, or privacy of research
participants or to minimize risk to researchers. Proprietary, classified or other research with limited
distribution raises ethical questions which must be resolved using these ethical principles.

6. Protect and Preserve Your Records

Anthropologists have an ethical responsibility1 for ensuring the integrity, preservation, and protection of their
work. This obligation applies both to individual and collaborative or team research. An anthropologists
ability to protect and use the materials collected may be contingent upon complex issues of ownership and
stewardship.2 In situations of disagreement, contestation, or conflict over ownership, the primary assumption
that the researcher owns her or his work product applies, unless otherwise established. Other factors (source
of funding, employment agreements, negotiated agreements with collaborators, legal claims, among others)
may impact ownership of records.3 Anthropologists should determine record ownership relating to each
project and make appropriate arrangements accordingly as a standard part of ethical practice. This may
include establishing by whom and how records will be stored, preserved, or disposed of in the long term.
Further, priority must be given to the protection of research participants, as well as the preservation and
protection of research records. Researchers have an ethical responsibility to take precautions that raw data
and collected materials will not be used for unauthorized ends. To the extent possible at the time of data
collection, the researcher is responsible for considering and communicating likely or foreseeable uses of
collected data and materials as part of the process of informed consent or obtaining permission. Researchers
are also responsible for consulting with research participants regarding their views of generation, use and
preservation of research records. This includes informing research participants whether data and materials
might be transferred to or accessed by other parties; how they might be transformed or used to identify
participants; and how they will be stored and how long they will be preserved.4
Researchers have a responsibility to use appropriate methods to ensure the confidentiality and security of
field notes, recordings, samples or other primary data and the identities of participants. The use of
Page 8 of 12
8/19/14, 11:58 AM
digitalization and of digital media for data storage and preservation 5 is of particular concern given the
relative ease of duplication and circulation. Ethical decisions regarding the preservation of research materials
must balance obligations to maintain data integrity with responsibilities to protect research participants and
their communities against future harmful impacts. Given that anthropological research has multiple
constituencies and new uses such as by heritage communities, the interests of preservation ordinarily
outweigh the potential benefits of destroying materials for the preservation of confidentiality. 6 Researchers
generating object collections have a responsibility to ensure the preservation and accessibility of the resulting
materials and/or results of analyzed samples, including associated documentation.

2. The National Science Foundation now requires prospective Principal Investigators to submit a Data
Management Plan with all proposals. See National Science Foundation, Data Management and
Sharing Frequently Asked Questions. The University of Connecticut provides helpful background
about this requirement (Why Create a Data Management Plan?) and advice about Writing a Data
Management Plan; further guidance and resources are available from the University of Californias
DMPTool.
The National Institutes of Health requires data sharing (NIH Data Sharing Policy). In 1999, the
Office of Management and Budget issued a revision to OMB Circular A-110, which requires that
Federal agencies that award research and development dollars ensure that all data be available to the
public under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act. A discussion of the changes and the
text of the revision, which went into effect in November 1999, is available at: Office of Management
and Budget, OMB Circular A-110: Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements

Anthropologists who pursue federal projects that result in the development of intellectual property,
particularly those which generate licenses and/or patents, should be aware of the University and Small
Business Patent Procedures Act, popularly known as the Bayh-Dole Act, as well as their own
institutions policies regarding intellectual property and technology transfer. Bayh-Dole is the 1980
legislation that enabled universities to assume exclusive control over intellectual property resulting
from federally-funded research and development, for the purpose of further development, transfer to
industry, commercialization and provision to the public.

7. Maintain Respectful and Ethical Professional Relationships

There is an ethical dimension to all professional relationships.1 Whether working in academic or applied
settings, anthropologists have a responsibility to maintain respectful relationships with others. In mentoring
students, interacting with colleagues, working with clients, acting as a reviewer or evaluator, or supervising
staff, anthropologists should comport themselves in ways that promote an equitable, supportive2 and
sustainable workplace environment. They should at all times work to ensure that no exclusionary practices be
Page 10 of 12
8/19/14, 11:58 AM
perpetrated on the basis of any nonacademic attributes.

Anthropologists may gain personally from their work, but they must not exploit individuals, groups, animals,
or cultural or biological materials. Further, when they see evidence of research misconduct, they are obligated
to report it to the appropriate authorities.3
Anthropologists must not obstruct the scholarly efforts of others when such efforts are carried out
responsibly. In their role as teachers and mentors, anthropologists are obligated to provide instruction on the
ethical responsibilities associated with every aspect of anthropological work. They should facilitate, and
encourage their students and research staff to engage in dialogue on ethical issues, and discourage their
participation in ethically questionable projects. Anthropologists should appropriately acknowledge all
contributions to their research, writing, and other related activities, and compensate contributors justly for
any assistance they provide. They are obligated to give students and employees appropriate credit for the
authorship of their ideas,4 and encourage the publication of worthy student and employee work.
